The Brief
What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Port a CPU Monte Carlo risk engine to CUDA on 4x A100 GPUs, targeting at least 30x speedup with documented numerical-correctness vs the CPU baseline.
This is not a coding exercise. It is the work a software engineer does between a Jira ticket and a merged PR. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates solve LeetCode problems and none who have shipped production code under real constraints.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
Earning criteria — what you'll demonstrate
- Port a real numerical workload from CPU to CUDA correctly
- Use cuRAND + thoughtful kernel design for coalesced memory access
- Validate numerical correctness across host + device implementations
- Conduct occupancy + roofline analysis to identify optimization headroom
